Summary: Click HERE to listen in iTunes Click HERE to listen in Stitcher Have you tried to create real change in your life (like a healthy lifestyle), but then found yourself right back to where you started? Why is it that some people seem to embrace change with no problem, and for others it seems like an insurmountable task? This is exactly what we dive into in this week’s podcast. It’s one of my favorite subjects because mindset has so much to do with the body we inhabit. I share a bit of my own experience, and lay out the five-step process I not only use myself, but with my clients as well. It has the potential to change your life, if you let it. Keep in mind (as I’ve mentioned in previous show notes) that I am new to this whole podcasting thing – an introvert that has gone out on a limb to bring you valuable content. I fully intend for it to get better as we go! I’ll continue to bring you useful, practical, and actionable information that will hopefully play a small part in you transforming your life -- and starting with the next podcast, I'll be answering some of YOUR questions (so make sure to email me below!) Together, we are building a community of respectful, knowledge-seeking action takers that desire to be fit and live a healthy lifestyle. This podcast is a tool to do just that. So please introduce yourself, provide some feedback, ask questions, and submit show ideas! Let’s do this! *Information provided in this podcast is not intended as a substitute for professional nutritional or medical advice.
